Hope for Addiction: There is hope

freedom  house

A home for single moms and their kids:
Keeping families together and children out of foster care

“Housing is the foundational intervention that moves an individual or family from homelessness to self-sufficiency. Without housing programs, all other intervention programs are less effective.”
-Homelessness in Arizona 2017 Annual Report Arizona Dept of Economic Security

“Homeless children are twice as likely to experience hunger, health problems and repeat a grade in school. Homeless families need assistance with housing, employment, childcare, school enrollment, transportation, recreation and parenting.”

Life Skills

Taking steps to begin life again is hard work. Every day responsibilities and basic life skills have been forgotten or never learned: cooking, cleaning, paying bills, managing a schedule, healthy lifestyle, nutrition, relationships, emotional and spiritual balance, and more. Based on the individual needs, full-time staff and mentors teach moms all they need to manage their new lives, ultimately leading them to self-sufficiency.

Career Counseling / Job Support​

Many moms have been living in "survival mode" and have not held a steady job, making employment a challenge. Finding a job, maintaining a job and providing stability to provide for their children can seem impossible. Mothers will learn how to apply and search for jobs, how to create a resume, interview and prepare to present themselves to prospective employers and learn the importance of being reliable, honest and hard working.

Mentoring

Moms are connected with a mentor who invests in their lives on a daily basis. Each of us needs a friend with more experience to help us grow, provide accountability and encouragement. These relationships become life-long friendships.

Parenting classes / Individual
Parenting Plans

Parenting is unknown for all of us, and especially so for single moms trying to rebuild their lives. Parenting classes help moms regain their role of motherhood and equip them to train their children. In addition to classes, moms are given parenting plans and practical support to implement all they have learned with hands-on assistance in the moments they need it most. This support keeps them moving forward and ensures that kids receive all they need.

Finances

Women are taught to open and maintain a bank account, create a budget, clear up past debts, pay monthly bills and save for their future.

​On-going evaluation of their progress keeps moms on track to be on their own and grow in responsibility.​

Addictions / Trauma Counseling

Once a woman has gained stability and settled into the safety of Freedom House, they are paired with a certified counselor who will address their specific needs. Counselors are specially trained to address addictions and trauma. Weekly counseling meetings, case management and weekly evaluations keep women well supported and moving forward toward their goals of self-sufficiency.
